We had a fabulous time at Isavaret's condo in Bangkok. The location had convenient access to the BTS, and was within walking distance of many restaurants, the Jim Thompson house (worth the tour), and the huge mall. We walked around the immediate neighborhood quite a bit and never felt uneasy or unsafe.

The condo itself was just as described, and the photos were all accurate. It was super clean, had a great firm matress, and the kitchen was well appointed (though we did not cook). The wifi was fast and reliable, and the washing machine on the balcony was much appreciated. All of the small details were well taken care of.

Our flight from Newark to Tokyo was delayed several hours which meant we missed our original flight from Tokyo to Bangkok. I was able to let Isavaret know via text that we were coming in later than anticipated, and we finally arrived around midnight, long after his assistant was in bed I imagine. The guard made a phone call or two, and shortly after we were shown to the apartment. For such short notice at such an inconvenient hour for everyone, we really appreciate everyone's help in getting us into the apartment. Please give your assistant who showed us to the apartment and to the guard who made the phone calls on our behalf our sincere thanks.

Breakfast across the street at Happy 3 was quite good, and breakfast coupons were included for each day of our stay. The buffet had a good variety of foods--Asian, Western, and European--and the croissants were the BEST we've ever had. Yes, better than any we'd ever had in France even. Please pass our compliments on the chef.

In terms of communication, Isavaret was superb. He answered my many questions prior to our booking, and provided a lot of useful information on local restaurants, things to do, and transportation from the airport and around town. Bangkok is a very easy city to get around in, even for those new to the city.

The only downside to our stay was the lovely pool was closed the two days of our stay. As I am training for a triathlon, being able to keep up with my training was important, and that gorgeous pool was one of the main factors why I booked this particular condo. I know in the grand scheme of things, this is a very minor issue and one I'm sure Isavaret had no contol over, but it was still disappointing not to be able to use the pool even once.

Despite the pool maintenance (which I'm sure is not the norm), I would definitely recommend this place to anyone traveling to Bangkok, and should I find myself lucky enough to return, I would like to stay here again.
